Republicans in the US House of Representatives blocked a Democrat’s move today to roll out legislation that urges Vice President Mike Pence to begin the process of enacting the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution to impeach outgoing President Donald Trump.

Reuters reported that Democrats in the House called for the legislation to be approved immediately for discussion, but Republicans blocked that step.

The House of Representatives of the US Congress also published a bill calling for Trump to be dismissed and accusing him of committing “extreme crimes and transgressions” in light of the storming of the Capitol building, where the drafters of the draft resolution considered that Trump incited his supporters to storm Congress and the practice of looting, destruction and killing in it, stressing that he thus showed that “he will continue Representing a threat to national security, democracy and the constitution if he is allowed to remain in office.

The document called for "Trump to be isolated, tried, and removed from his office," while preventing him from holding any position in the United States.

The Democrats in the House of Representatives had put forward a draft resolution to formally impeach Trump today and tried to pass another bill urging his deputy, Mike Pence and the Cabinet to implement Amendment 25 of the American Constitution, but the first draft resolution was not announced in the House Chamber as it was not put to a vote by the members, but the procedure It was launched to clear the way for its implementation later this week.

For his part, the leader of the Republican majority in the House, Steny Hoyer, made an attempt to pass the bill through absolute approval, but Alex Mooney, representative of West Virginia, lodged an objection.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave Pence 24 hours to impeach Trump, or else the House of Representatives will move to implement this measure, as she confirmed last Friday that Democrats are ready to go this week by questioning Trump about his role in the attacks that took place last week on the Capitol building unless he submits his resignation.

Trump is facing increasing calls to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution after his supporters incited violence and stormed the Congress building.

It is noteworthy that the twenty-fifth amendment of the American Constitution was adopted in 1967 and has been used only in the case of presidents who underwent surgery, with the aim of temporarily transferring power to their deputies.
